mendocino farms - peruvian steak sandwich

welcome back to the sandwich index.

today i'm at mendocino farms, a california staple known for its salads and sandwiches. i came in to see what the farmer could do for me.

peruvian steak sandwich

balance: balance of value? not so much. the sandwich was puny, and it was almost $15 when it was all said and done.
meat to cheese ratio: there was a fair amount of protein, but so little Oaxaca cheese that i was not even sure it was there.
lettuce: there was basically no lettuce on the sandwich.
construction: cute. it came on a buttered brioche potato roll situation.
bite: it was juicy, like the tomatoes and herb aioli came together to create a smooth flurry of flavor.
mess: a little messy, not gonna lie.
vibe: uncertain. probably would not return for that.

overall score: 2.5/5

maybe i should’ve gotten a salad.
